The Giving Evergreen
 
The "Giving Evergreens" is a sculpture, created by Sanford Werfel, of three evergreen trees with pine needle clusters finished in gold, silver, and copper and hand carved stones.

Adding a pine needle cluster, stone, or tree is a lasting and exceptional way to celebrate, honor, or remember someone who has touched your life!

Display Case

Ty Beanie Baby Collection

By Sara DeRosa

 

Sara DeRosa, 12, will be displaying her collection at the library this May.

 

DeRosa has been collecting her Beanie Babies for three years. “Some Beanie Babies can be a lot of money,” DeRosa said of her collection.“I collect Beanie Babies because they are cute, and I love stuffed animals,” DeRosa said. When asked which Beanie Baby in her collection is her favorite, DeRosa seemed undecided. “Whisper the Fawn. She is adorable! Also Velvet the Panther. I like all cats. And all the rest are my favorites!”
